First post here, but I've been lurking here for some time now! Anyway I'm the proud owner of a 1975 914 set up for autocross with a serious oil leak coming from the cylinder, (i think). Could i have a cracked cylinder? The oil (and also looks like exhaust pulses) is coming out between the 3rd and 4th cooling fin on the # 3 cylinder. Pics are attached of the cylinder (circle around the area where the oil is landing) and the underside of the tin. The oily area on the tin is from the same cylinder (#3). I planned on a rebuild (the car sat in a garage for three years) over the winter but i hoped to autocross it once or twice before the winter. Please help. I'm having withdrawl pains from lack of autocross!!
Thanks, Dominic Attached image(s) ![]() |

Uh oh! So that's probably why since i did that I'm getting puff's of exhaust pulsing in the area. Thanks for the tip. I'll redo all the head nuts and see what happens. Btw Dave, the plugs read fine on all cylinders. Definitely no oil fouling. Guess I'll just keep looking till i find it. Going under the car now. Thanks again, Dominic |
